                                Did you know a standard 8-ounce cup of drip coffee contains significantly more liquid volume than a single shot of espresso, which is about 1 ounce, despite sometimes using a similar weight of beans? Trying to figure out exactly how many espresso beans equal 1 cup of coffee is a tricky conversion, as it depends on the brewing method, bean weight, and desired strength.
